New Jerusalem - City Of God's Kingdom On Earth
This painting of the New Jerusalem City of God's Kingdom on
earth is a close-up of the huge city.
The City is so large that if
viewed in its entirety, the gates would not be visible unless they were very
large. See the last post and the
painting below to see how the city would look if it were on earth and viewed
from space looking down on earth and read on that post more about it. It is over half the size of America. Someday, if born again we will live in that
city. The walls of the city are made of clear Jasper gemstone. Out of that city will flow the
river of life. The city is square and has three pearl gates on each side with the names of the twelve tribes
of Israel on each one. The door on the gate is a pearl and the gate will always be open. This painting
shows the gate with the tribe of Judah on it.
Jesus was of the tribe of Judah.
The foundation is made of twelve different gemstones with the names of
the 12 apostles of Jesus on each one because they are the foundation of the
church (they started the church and spread the gospel). The first gemstone is amethyst and Peter is
listed as the first apostle so his name is on the first bottom gemstone. There is also an angel at each gate.
